Does this definition extend to include any chronic diseases/disorders?
Hi,
Any disorder that bears a label 'chronic' will invariably find an attachment from Saturn to the planet influencing the disorder, and/or the significance of Capricorn because planet and sign are associated with long-term circumstances through conditioning; the hardening, turning to stone, etc.. Capricorn is hard Earth in its physical form. Via Saturn it produces the chronic conditions as a result of hardening within the physical body.
That said, Saturn is also the traditional ruler of Aqaurius, which is a FIXED sign of the AIR element. Get a bee in the air bonnet and it will be as difficult to budge as any lump of heavy rock
, which can just as easily become 'neurotically chronic' of nature. In thinking in terms of Aquarius, Saturn would seem to be the archive keeper of that which is long past, yet retained rather than forgotten. My own Saturn in Air bee is that the 'aha' moment is nothing more than old retained intellect finding its way back into conscious thought again. Similarly, therefore, Saturn of Aquarius
could refer to disorders-diseases carried on from long past times...be it former lives or ancestral influences. Still studying that one.
Neptune itself has never been associated with chronic conditioning rather than the nature and influence of its development in, and towards physical manifestation. The oceans/seas cause erosion and flood of land. Is such chronic or a long-term development?
Neptune is strongly associated with the psyche, spiritual or otherwise, whereby any Saturn/Capricorn influence tends to revolve around one's perception of manifested reality.
Physically, as per the nature of this thread, everyone carries viruses within them, which don't necessarily manifest into a physical condition. They lie dormant and there have to be outer conditions that 'wake them up', so to speak. The Neptune in Capricorn generational influence could well bring a change within astrological thought towards the idea that Neptune's effects ARE, or can become, physically long term and chronic of nature. Capricorn represents the limits of the physical body (the 'this far and no more' how much it can take, endurance etc.). Neptune can weaken Capricorn's power of resistance against outside influences alien (Neptune) to it, whereby the physical body and/or its immune system can no longer fully protect and guard against the outer influences entering the body. Neptune's fusion can have many meanings, whether one adds 'con' or 'trans' before it or not.
It is always interesting to read what is happening in the medical world to see how the outer planets transits through the signs appear to show their influence.
